(www.xeniagreekmuslimah.blogspot.com)EDITORIAL:
This is Part IV in the series of articles on Chechnya. In any conflict either within the same country or between countries, it is always painful for the loss of lives of innocent men, women and children. It is already painful to the Global Ummah, that thousands of our innocent Chechen brothers, sisters and children have already been wounded, disabled or lost their lives by the brutal Russian military machine.
If Islam is really a RELIGION OF PEACE, and Islam strongly emphasizes the value of life, how could anyone justify the killings of innocent human beings by Muslims. Such innocent human beings include the innocent Russian men, women and children who happen to be in the wrong place and in the wrong time be it as passengers in a train, or students at a school, patients in a hospital, passengers in a airplane or audience in a drama theater.
WE NEED TO CONSTANTLY REMIND OURSELVES THAT TWO WRONGS, DON'T MAKE IT RIGHT.
The focus in this E-Zine is on the innocent Russian men, women and children wounded or killed due to terrorist actions by Chechens. There is a need for Muslims involved in killing innocents to deeply reflect and ask themselves as to why is it that they involve in such anti-islamic actions in terms of killing the INNOCENTS ? Do they really believe that by killing the innocents, they could achieve their political goals ? If you carefully analyze the various conflict zones around the world that involves Muslims fighting the non-Muslims, almost in all cases, wherever Muslims have involved in killing the innocents they have repeatedly failed to achieve their primary political goals. One should not be surprised of above final outcome, because there are good chances that Almighty Allah who established the RELIGION OF PEACE would not be inclined to fulfill the wishes of his people who violate his own commandments by killing the innocents and thereby demonstrate no value to INNOCENT LIVES.
This is an area where not just Chechens but many other Muslims from various nationalities have consistently made a big mistake by involving in terrorism resulting in deaths of innocents and without any hesitation we condemn such actions and urge other Muslim brothers and sisters around the globe to support what ISLAM REALLY STANDS FOR - PEACE.

EDITORIAL CONCLUDING NOTE:
There are about 1.5 billion Muslims around the world spanning across 57 Muslim countries and residents of almost all countries in the world. If you carefully analyze the Muslim victims across the globe, you will note that a majority of them became victims perpetrated by injustice and crimes by their own fellow Muslims.
This starts off at the level of the smallest social unit - the FAMILY, where certain Muslim men deliberately prefer to implement the local macho-cultural values and ignore the values espoused by our loving Prophet Mohamed (SAW) in terms of treating his own family members, nepotism in the workplace by Muslim bosses / owners who believe in using the "right connections" to move forward ignoring the issues of justice, discrimination et.c and all the way up to the ruthless Muslim Presidents / Dictators such as the current ruthless President Bashar al-Assad of Syria and the brutality of Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov against his own Chechens (specifically the rebels fighting for independence) against all civilized laws is but a SYMPTOM OF A LARGER PROBLEM in the Muslim World today.
Islam in essence, is the most beautiful religion that ever existed, but Muslims in various ways have deviated away from its true teachings and not surprisingly we are seeing a sea of problems facing the Muslims today.
We urge all Muslims to shift the attention from the mentality of US versus THEM to introspection of one's own inner self. It is high time to introspect oneself starting from a single Muslim and extending the concept towards his immediately family, local Muslim community and the Muslim nation & Muslim world at large. AMEEN.
